Rubin'sn Kosher Restaurant Delicatessen

Sure, the sandwiches are just as good at Michael’s Deli, located half a mile down Harvard Street, but what sets Rubin’s apart is the atmosphere. Step inside, eavesdrop on the old frummers a booth over, and chomp into a half-sour pickle, and you’ll feel transported back to a time when ordering corned beef, pastrami, or chopped liver stacked to the moon on rye didn’t make you despair for your cardiovascular system—it just made you very, very happy.
